The Golden Bachelorette took an exciting turn when Joan Vassos stepped in as the lead, getting another chance to pursue love once more. At 61, the school administrator hailing from Maryland has faced challenges in her journey to finding romance, capturing the hearts of fans who empathize with her story.
After her connection with Gary Turner in The Golden Bachelor didn’t lead to the love she hoped for, Joan’s new dating reality TV show presented her with a renewed opportunity to discover lasting companionship. Yet, as far as fans believe, Vassos is not close to discovering love again for she is still too hung over her late husband.
Will The Golden Bachelorette Star Joan Vassos Ever Find Love?
Joan Vassos was in a long and loving relationship with her husband John Nicholas Vassos for over 32 years. Having passed away in 2021 from pancreatic cancer, John continues to remain a special person in the reality TV star’s life and it feels like she isn’t over him yet.
While she won’t ever forget or get over him per se, fans believe Vassos is too hung over her late husband to enter the dating game again. Pretty much since the first episode of The Golden Bachelorette, the 61-year-old has mentioned her late husband numerous times.
During one particular episode, aired in early October, Vassos even acknowledged that John will always remain a part of her heart. Given how on every date she goes, the reality TV star continues to mention John and how much she misses him, making fans certain that Joan Vassos can never find love again if she does not let John go.
Fans Wholeheartedly Believe Joan Vassos is Still Hungover Her Late Husband
Joan Vassos was married for 32 years to her late husband John. The reality TV star has dozen times revealed what a special person he was in her life and continues to miss him every day. While it is understandable that she misses him and that he will always be a special person to her, bringing him up on every date and conversation only means one thing: Vassos is not ready to date.
While she sent Mark Anderson home for not being ready to find love despite losing his wife in 2018, the reality TV star seems to be doing pretty much the same thing according to the fans of The Golden Bachelorette.
Perhaps Vassos had thought she was ready to find love again, but it seems she is just trying to find a replacement for her late husband while still being too hungover.
The Golden Bachelorette fans, who had tuned in hoping to see Joan Vassos get a better ending than Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are now severely disappointed. From Vassos struggling to pick a man to spending half the date talking about John instead of getting to know her date better, fans are irked by the Maryland resident’s behavior.
Whether she will find love or not, only time will tell but for now fans seem to no longer care as much about Joan Vassos as they did initially.
The Golden Bachelorette airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on ABC.
